12-Year-Old Female with Double Major Curve
Patient
This 12-year-old girl presented with the onset of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) during early puberty. Radiographs identified a double major curve, measuring 31° thoracic and 34° lumbar.
Her clinical presentation included a right pelvic shift, raised right shoulder, and noticeable waist asymmetry.
Treatment
She was fitted with a custom Gensingen Brace to address both structural curves. Initial in-brace radiographs showed strong correction to 14° thoracic and 9° lumbar.
Brace treatment has continued throughout her growth phase to support spinal alignment and postural balance.
Outcome
An out-of-brace x-ray taken after one year demonstrated curve reduction to 27° thoracic and 25° lumbar.
Clinically, improved symmetry is now visible across the pelvis, waist, and shoulders, reflecting both structural and postural improvement. Treatment remains ongoing to maintain and optimise correction during continued growth.
